    Don't normally review stuff, but just don't understand how trolls are allowed to make comments, its a great game, better than Hustle Kings in my opinion, the physics are awesome and the graphics are like AAA quality, its a really good game. The music can be a bit repetitive but that's my only prob, and I just plug my ipod in. I keep playing it, it wasn't just a one time wonder took meDon't normally review stuff, but just don't understand how trolls are allowed to make comments, its a great game, better than Hustle Kings in my opinion, the physics are awesome and the graphics are like AAA quality, its a really good game.

Well worth the money its a bargain.… Expand

The physics are spot on and the graphics are stunning. the developers Cherry Pop Games deserve an award for everything they have done. this is not a simple port from the XBox and PS3 but a new version designed specifically for pc gamers. The developers are keen to listen to our feedback and have addressed everything there customers report as well as adding new things based on our requests. I have played many other pool games my favorites being virtual pool and hustle kings but this game hands down beats everything before it. Without aiming aids it will even improve your real game. Hands down the best pool game to date and hats off to Cherry pop games for providing a game and level of service a lot of other game companies could learn from,

    A straight ten from me.    … Expand

    This is for the Virtual Pool 3 orphans: the search is over. Those awesome pool physics of the past are back in a great package, with gorgeous graphics and multiplayer component. There are mechanics and aiming aids for those who like fancy trick shots too, but definitely this is a game for players who know how a real pool table works.

    Nice looking game, everything is shining etc, physics and dynamics are both ok, but pocket size is too big it's not pool, it's some other game with pockets twice larger than regular pool. Not worth the money at all. I regret buying this. Should get Hustle Kings.

    Surprisingly deep gameplay, plenty of game modes and unlockables to keep you coming back earn Pool Nation high marks.

    Pool Nation is a great game that has a surprisingly long shelf life. It hits a nice balance between accessibility and challenge, letting you play however you want; whether you're a no-crosshairs, no-mercy kind of player, or if you're a newbie that needs all the help you can get.

    Unless you're a pool devotee that's been waiting for a chance to play the game on your PS3 or 360, you'll probably only find Pool Nation to be a light trifle of a game, fun for a couple of games here and there — but sometimes, that's really all you want.
